The U.S. and Canada share the longest international border in the world (approximately 5,500 miles or 8,900 km. Until the late 1800s, however, the border was totally open, with no regulation or monitoring. We’ll talk about when the tracking started, what has been recorded, and where records can be found, as well as why we care and what we can learn.
